Mixed Mode Library and CRT Dependencies - HELP

Question

Alright, after doing a ton of research and trying almost every managed CPP Redist I can find as well as trying to copy my DLLs locally to the executing directory of the app

Answer 1

Typically I've found that the pragma comment style manifest decleration's to be much more error free, from a developer maintenence and an over all build action perspective. The XML manifest's are natoriously snafu.

The fimiluarity with how the linker operates and the usual compilation of C code and the fact that you simply tak this in, onto one of your source files, keeps everything a bit feeling more "together";

#pragma comment(linker, \
    "\"/manifestdependency:type='Win32' "\
    "name='Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' "\
    "version='6.0.0.0' "\
    "processorArchitecture='*' "\
    "publicKeyToken='6595b64144ccf1df' "\
    "language='*'\"")
